Abstract A shipping method for facilitating the efficient distribution of goods transmits from a shipping location computer a container packing record identifying an individual container and the items contained therein to a programmable computer located at the shipping destination of the container such that as a container is received at the shipping destination a bar code on the container can be entered into the computer data base and used to identify the container packing record for the container and all of the items contained within the container. The shipping destination computer is programmed to compare the items in the container and provide an output directing the container directly to an order packing area when items needed to fill customer orders are contained within the received container, or, if none of the items are needed to fill a customer order, directing the container to general inventory. The shipping method eliminates the inefficiency of placing items needed to immediately fill customer orders into general inventory and subsequently removing the same items from general inventory to fill a customer's order.
